INFLUENCED!
Dora Cooper is a happy-go-lucky, but downtrodden 25 year old, who dreams of being a successful vlogger.
She is an everywoman: size 14, likes watching cat videos and has an overwhelming dread that she's simply ”not good enough,” a fear stoked by still living at home with her narcissistic mother. But then one day, when one of Dora's makeup videos goes viral, her life changes for ever.
She starts using face filters and soon gains more and more followers and becomes a successful Influencer living her #bestlife with her own reality TV show, footballer boyfriend and entourage
But as she gains more power and influence, she becomes ever more ruthless in her self-obsessed quest for fame and validation. And the more successful she becomes the more grotesque and distorted her social media profile photo becomes.
But where will it end? And will this once meek and shy shop girl stop at nothing to show the world that she is leading the ”perfect life” - even if that means killing her mystery troll and others who get in her way?`
